If you know your athlete is going to be absent, please send me a note prior to the missed practice. If the absence is unexpected, send me a note with your child the next day or contact me as soon as possible. Since we have so few practices before our first game, practice attendance will play a huge part in deciding playing time during a game. No athlete will lose game time due to excused absences, but by missing practices the athlete misses valuable teaching time on the field.
